Another bad day

 My head feels like this today. Got the Imitrex ready like a pistol in a holster getting ready to draw.
I hope no one minds but I am at a loss. I am tired of never being myself. I use to be out going and fun and now I am no fun to be around. Heck I don't even want to be around myself.
I tried a hot shower to see if I could get it under control but no luck and now the water treatment. Still haven't had the time to get the O2 all vehicles at home are gone. One loned to a roomate and the hubby has the other.
I am about to pull my hair out.
I am tired all the time anymore. I feel like I didn't hardly sleep last night. Then needed to get up early and study for an exam because today is the only time since I work at 2pm till 10 pm. The test is tomorrow but in the morning when I would study some more I have to go to clinicals and start IVs on surgical patients. (taking IV certification course). Unfortunatly my head is hindering my focus.
Ok I have probably bored you to death so I will stop whining. I know you all have been through this and am sorry for that. I hope you are all PF today.

Hey Kim. Don't apologize for venting your frustrations. Rant, rave, kick, scream, stomp your feet get it all out of your system. That's what we're here for. Nobody knows like we do what you're going through. It makes you feel better sometimes just to write down what you are feeling and then read the words.
If you are trying to hold off on using the Trex for the real bad hits, try some of the sugestions here. This is a link to some non-prescription alternatives different people have used to help with the pain:
http://www.clusterheadaches.org/resources/non_script_treat.htm
I sure hope you get a break soon. In the mean time, take what sleep you can get when you can get it. A 20 minute nap can make you feel as rested as a couple hours sleep. Much more than 20 minutes can leave you feeling more tired than if you hadn't slept at all. Set your alarm for 30 minutes and catch some zzz's.
Most importantly remember, it will pass. Take it day by day or hour by hour even if you have to. Come back here when you're running low on hope. This well does not run dry. We're all here for each other.

Rant, vent, beat the walls and scream.
It's our thing and along with some good ideas now and then, this is the place

 The pain is worse today. It is 330 in the morning and I am up. Need to study for test and be to the Hospital by 6am to start IVs. Unfortunately I have missed the only day that I could due these CH. I thought maybe for some crazy notion that I might be coming to the end of my cycle but that last two days tell me NO. I even had a crazy thought it was the Verap. that might be helping. Guess not yet but is making me very tired along with nights like tonight. I also have class from 1030 today till 4pm and then straight to work till 10pm I maybe asking for trouble. Thanks for the encouraging words this one of the reasons at times like these I pop on here.

 Haven't gotten the hands on Kudzu yet. No one I have talked to knows what it is. Did get Melatonin and Picking up the prescript O2 today. Tried Imitrex last night at work when I saw CH coming. Unfortunatly no luck 30min/1h later CH was back and I had to go home. I feel scared that I haven't seen the big one yet. I have to work tonight . I am sorry about last night on my thread I was at a loss of what to say but that. At least that OUCH sheet explaining to those that don't understand what we go through helped a lot at work. I printed it out and let everyone who wanted to to read it. PF to you all. Thanks for the support
